Thus, FRC tries to award rookie grants to teams who did not receive the NASA grants so they don't go unused.

I didn't want to put this in the initial post, but this was not the rule in 2014; I believe the FRC Rookie Grant only said "registration" that year. 4901 got NASA in a second wave, after the initial list went up but also after we got the Rookie Grant. FIRST removed the Rookie Grant from our account, we pointed out they weren't incompatible, they agreed we were right but asked if we'd let it go since several teams were still working on money the week after the deadline. (We did let it go.)
